San Francisco star wideout Deebo Samuel is not backing off his harsh offseason criticism of Eagles cornerback James Bradberry ahead of Week 13's pivotal NFC showdown.
During an episode of “I Am Athlete” with former NFL players Brandon Marshall and LeSean McCoy last February, Samuel called Bradberry “trash” following Philadelphia’s win over the 49ers in last season’s NFC Championship game.
While speaking with reporters on Friday, the outspoken receiver refused to back down from his words.
"I don't regret nothing I say," said Samuel.

The trash talk between the Eagles and 49ers players and fan bases has reached a fever pitch since last season’s NFC title win by Philadelphia. The Eagles crushed San Francisco 31–7, mainly due to the fact that quarterback Brock Purdy suffered a torn UCL early in the game.
This season, Samuel has once again displayed his superb versatility, posting 474 receiving yards in the air and 138 rushing yards on the ground while scoring four total touchdowns.
The Eagles, who boast the best record (10–1) in the NFL, will host the NFC West-leading 49ers (8–3) on Dec. 3rd at Lincoln Financial Field at 4:25 p.m. ET.
